We moved to the semi-derelict old courthouse and jail in the East End. A year later, the staircase collapsed when someone we knew was carrying an industrial sewing machine up it. There was another gig, but it was raided sooner, so we moved on. PaulвЂ™s neck was burned by the end of the gig when it was raided by the police.

A pal of ours was a sparky and jumped the mains across the meter so we had free electricity. For our first gig there, we set them up behind the band and they were the light show, someone flicking the mains on and off to make them flicker randomly behind us. In the basement we found a lot of overly powerful sunbeds from the 80s. After the line-up was formed, we set ourselves up in an old warehouse in the Gorbals we called the Chateau. Like going to see a retrospective in the Tate, you could see the curve of development without the distraction of every detail. An indication of where the future may be taking them. A way to understand the progression of ideas with the perspective of the long term. For me those records were an introduction, a doorway into the artistвЂ™s world. ThatвЂ™s the point of this record: the hits to the head, hits to the heart, hits to the feet as they hit the dancefloor. For them, it was what they wanted to listen to. They didnвЂ™t have every Bowie LP, they had Changes. My parents didnвЂ™t have a huge record collection. They were such a big part of my life growing up.

WeвЂ™re doing this album and IвЂ™m thinking about how to tell you why we would. Maybe you shouldвЂ¦ Bob went off to get a carry out and when he came back theyвЂ™d swapped. It was a laugh, but he wasnвЂ™t quite as good on guitar as Nick was on the drums. Our pal Paul heard we were up to something. He had an irrepressible enthusiasm and was a great musician, but did lie about being a drummer. What, the dick who pinched the vodka? No, he seems alrightвЂ¦ Right, Bob, weвЂ™re meeting this guy Nick at his flat tomorrow. Before fists followed, I said I donвЂ™t suppose you play drums do you? Yes. Who nicked the vodka? There was this weird looking wee guy on the other side of the room carrying it like a trophy. Put it down, turned around and it was gone. A few of us chipped in and bought a litre of vodka. There was a party at Jo and CeliaвЂ™s flat above Canton Express on Sauchiehall Street. We played with Michael and Charlie, but they went off to join Dino and Jason in V Twin.

You just played music, so you are by definitionвЂ¦ We never settled this one, but we did think it might be a laugh to actually get a band together. ItвЂ™s just two notes, but itвЂ™s a bassline. My pal Mick Cooke gave me his old bass, but Bob said he was a painter, not a musician. This imaginary band that was whatever we wanted it to be. Haha, imagine if we said we wanted to make music for girls to dance to? ThatвЂ™s funny. Why canвЂ™t we make music for them? LetвЂ™s make them dance. IвЂ™m sick of gigs where itвЂ™s a bunch of blokes nodding their heads. Do you think people could think of Glasgow the way we think of New York when we hear this? I love how heavy this Shellac song is. What about that Gina X song we were dancing to the other night? I love it. My brother, my killer? ItвЂ™s so personal, yet universal. Listen to that line in Famous Blue Raincoat. It was just me and Bob in the kitchen where I was a chef and he was a dishwasher, talking about what weвЂ™d do if we had a band. Especially when I think of how it all started. That they developed a visual aesthetic that was as sharp and wiry as their melodies.

That they ricocheted around the planet playing to millions** of people, winning Brit Awards, Mercuries, Grammy nominations***, spearheading a renaissance in British bands, gaining red carpet fans like Kanye West, Hedi Slimane, Nile Rodgers, Marr, Gaga****, Hanks, Dogg and Bowie****, collaborating with icons like Jane Birkin, Daft Punk, Sparks, Justice and Debbie Harry along the way. If my friends ever read this, IвЂ™ll get such a slagging. That this is the best of those songs which made a generation feel sexy and alive with a blend of dance floor euphoria, electrifying guitars and an easy, erudite lyrical wistfulness. Rules vary by show depending on artists requirements, so please check each individual show for details.ДЄre you ready for the hyperbole? IвЂ™m supposed to tell you about how this era-defining band sold millions of LPs* that all sounded like Best Ofs. No refunds will be given for 2022 Concerts in the Grove Series.
